Student led conferences are just like parent-teacher conferences, but the main difference is that the student takes the lead. The student becomes responsible for informing their parents or guardians where they are academically in school and what they have been working on. Many of the activities completed in classrooms these days are online. One way to keep a record of this form of student work would be with a digital student portfolio. This is simply a specific place where students can access their digital activities that they completed online during school.
Throughout my experience with practicum and internship at Jacksonville State, many of my placements have utilized platforms such as Google Classroom, Nearpod, and Seesaw. My favorite platform that I have seen so far is Seesaw. This app allows teachers to create a digital portfolio for each student in their classroom. Throughout the year, students can upload pictures, activities, and more onto their Seesaw, and it is automatically added to their portfolio where their parents and guardians can view it, like it, and even leave a comment on it. I feel that this is an amazing platform to use because it allows parents to get involved in their student's learning.
The following video provides information on student led conferences and digital portfolios.
